About

I am a mum to two daughters, age 6 and 3. I also hold down a day job as a litigator. In my spare time, I like to make crafty messes with my kids and the odd sewing project. I started this little blog in January 2010 as a place to document our crafty adventures.

Just a bit about me - I collect Nativity sets from around the world, like public transportation, taking photos, reading, cooking, laughing, spicy food, fabric, thrifty treasures, tea towels, Little House on the Prairie, Royal Weddings, musicals, and happy endings. I can watch Manhattan, Annie Hall, Sound of Music, and Mary Poppins over and over. I am often inspired by far away places and I like to travel - my husband and I travelled to many great places on a very tiny budget for 12 years before starting a family. When we holiday, we always bring a kite.

I have many creative friends and family who inspire me daily and sometimes I post about their projects.
